Kona engine check light and smoke

Good day, I'm experiencing a strange issue with my 2019 Hyundai Kona gasoline. My engine check light is on, and it feels like I have reduced engine power. Also, when I accelerate, there's smoke coming out! Could this be a malfunction of the crankcase ventilation valve? I read something about this, and my car has 118873 km. It feels a bit like my car is breathing through a straw.

A 2019 Hyundai Kona owner is experiencing an engine check light, reduced engine power, and smoke during acceleration. The issue might be related to a malfunctioning crankcase ventilation valve, also known as the PCV valve. A similar problem was resolved by replacing the PCV valve, and it is recommended to have a workshop diagnose and fix the issue.

Hey, that sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with my old Opel Astra. Same symptoms: check engine light and smoke. Turned out to be the PCV valve. Does the engine also sound a bit rough? Like it's struggling to keep up?

Yes, actually, it does sound a bit rough! What did you do about your Opel Astra, if I may ask?

I replaced the PCV valve. But honestly, the repair was a bit beyond my skills. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. They should be able to diagnose it quickly, and the cost shouldn't be too high, around 360€ I guess.

Thank you very much! I am very relieved to hear I am not alone and what could be the problem. I'll take it to the workshop and hope it's 'just' the crankcase ventilation. Thank you for the tip and help!
